Do yall still spin corn with all the acorns hitting the ground now? The deer seem to be staying away from my feeder and eating up all the acorns somewhere else. I was just wondering if I should just turn off my feeder for awhile.

yep! They still like to eat their ice cream after the steak dinner!
I got smart this year and put my feeder right in the middle of 4 huge whiteoaks! They can pick and choose all they want now!

Deer will still hit the corn, its just a matter of time, acorns will affect the # of deer that visit the feeder, but remember if you can get a few doe addicted to the corn and coming regular, they can become the bait during the rut. With corn being 3.78 a sack at walmart I see NO reason to turn off a feeder this year....crank it up! JMO when there are a lot of acorns, throw more corn, that way they have more feen in one spot rather than hunting acorns.....if it doesnt work, your just out a few bucks this year
the man at the top of the mountain didn't fall up it

Mix in a few peanuts with your corn and they will flat walk over acorns to eat peanuts once they taste them.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

we don't have acorns in south texas!
YAY!
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
